the harbour as the tide went out and the sun set in a glorious blaze everywhere people were friendly perhaps it was because we were the first of the holiday crowd or that middleaged couples dont fit the tough biker image or thev were amused and surprised at such a tiny little lady touring on a big looking bike or perhaps we looked so very cold clam diggers showed us where to dig for clams giving
